How did you determine it to be literally worth billions of dollars? I don't understand how sending some faked tweets could have much in the way of geopolitical implications.

Thank you for taking the time to explain that, it is much appreciated.

Could you elaborate on this point for someone who isn't familiar with typescript (or javascript, for that matter). I'm no stranger to strongly typed languages but that function signature seems pretty complex to me. By elaborate I

I didn't understand your reply at first, and then it dawned on me that the linked page wasn't handwritten to celebrate the milestone (which is what i thought at first), but rather just today's version of a programmatically ge

Thanks for the detailed reply, I found it very informative. I work on a small team developing 'private cloud' infrastructure for a large company, so I usually find myself on the opposite side of the arguement... trying to highligh

Cool to see a well-loved, gold standard of an open source project reach a milestone like this. That said, the few cherry picked commits on that page were not particularly interesting (atleast to me, not a db expert by any means), and the co

Curious to hear what sort of workloads people envision using this for. I'm a huge fan of raspberrypis and have used them for lots of projects over the years. Nothing remotely memory intensive though, mostly basic microcontroller stuff

That's all well and good, you're entitled to your preferences. But it doesn't change the fact that it's not a 'fuzzy' description of experience. DPI alone isn't enough information to describe what it is me

I'm curious how long ago you were at that company serving 3m customers a day. I have not been in the industry very long, so I don't really know what things were like >5 years ago, and don't want to sound as if I'm pre

It does, actually. It’s supposed to describe a display where the individual pixels aren’t discernible at normal viewing distance

Yah that makes a lot of sense. I am a guitarist buy 90%+ of the time I play acoustic.

Ah, this makes a lot of sense, thank you. Much like there are spectrums of light we can't see that can damage the eyes.

It wasn't an ad hominem attack. Ad hominem quite literally refers to an attack against a specific person. Not only was he not attacking a person, but referring to 'hipsters' is not necessarily pejorative. I believe he was inc

Not last enough in corporate? We're talking about engineers here not NFL players. Why would they have short careers?

I agree on the start up time point. I don't know how slow most people's experience is, and I don't use emacs, but I really can't imagine people aren't using emacs because of a few extra seconds it takes to open your

I agree that there are probably some cool uses for the touch bar if you put some thought in to tailoring it to your work flow, but it is not a tactile interface. Keys are a tactile interface. You can't discern anything from the touchba

As stated in the article, these ‘static’ files are being programmatically generated by backend services on remote servers rather than client side, but I don’t see how this could be construed as a paradigm shift back towards static site desi

I am also a non-expert, and am sympathetic to your argument, but I don’t think there’s any reason to believe that whatever fix is proposed wouldn’t account for the type of risks you are concerned about. All of the risks/concerns you me

I understand where you’re coming from regarding the tone of the memo, but I think it’s important to keep in mind that this was not a public critique. The author mentions in a reddit post that this was originally a confidential internal docu

I think this is a great point. I don’t know how the logistics of such a re-processing would work, but food waste is certainly a major problem. I don’t mean to sound like an apologist (or even a fan) of industrial agriculture, but I think it

I think you’re totally right in your assumption re: quality == healthy. However, I really doubt the vague assertion of this article that implies there’s a large population of pets being fed ‘high quality’ food. There are many problems with
